Since there are people from all countries here, the answer to your question depends a lot on who you ask. I don't think even the specific word you used is relevant in all parts of the world.

Is it a felony where you live?
That term doesn't exist in the legal language where I live. And I don't know your term well enough to know what it maps to in our law.
In the United States, there's felonies and misdemeanors. Felonies are a big deal, and misdemeanors are a small deal.
Felonies carry sentences over a year, and time is served in state or federal prison, not in a local jailhouse.
